I was going to just drop a link here but I've heard that Twitter has made it tougher for people to view content there if you don't have a Twitter account. So I'm reposting instead. It won't be terribly tidied up, though.<br />Comments would be extremely welcome.<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://rainsometimes.dreamwidth.org/235653.html#cutid1">behind the cut</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=rainsometimes&ditemid=235653" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2011-02-25:700583:194619 2019-05-16T20:10:15Z 2022-08-08T20:01:24Z public 0 It occurred to me to wonder what might have happened if Gintoki had happened to run into Takasugi back in the Amnesia Arc, when he had lost his memory, was disgusted about what he heard of himself, and left Odd Jobs to become a factory worker. And he'd also forgotten how to fight (or at least, he forgot the fact that he is a very strong fighter).<br /><br />This is what I came up with. It turned out shippy, but not in any happy way.<br /><br />Title: Even Model Employees Make Unwise Decisions<br />Word Count: nearly 700<br />Characters/pairing: Gintoki/Takasugi<br />Flavour & tropes: Angst, memory loss<br />Spoilers/setting: While this will resonate more for those who have watched or read up through episode 305/chapter 519, there are no direct spoilers beyond the Amnesia arc (episode 31 & 32).<br />Concrit/other feedback: Yes, please!<br /><br />Disclaimer: Hideaki Sorachi owns the characters of Gintama.
